Add a window.opacity config (0.0-1.0, default 1.0). When below 1.0 the window is created transparent and the terminal background is filled with that alpha while text and UI chrome stay opaque. Alpha handling is compositor/platform-dependent (best-effort).

Summary
Adds a
window.opacityconfig option (float,0.0–1.0, default1.0). When set below1.0, the window is created transparent and the terminal background is rendered with that alpha, while text, glyphs, and UI chrome (tab bar, status bar, separators) stay fully opaque.Note: alpha handling in softbuffer is platform/compositor-dependent (X11 vs Wayland vs macOS/CoreGraphics), so this is best-effort and requires a compositor that supports transparency.
